Sinopsis

Global Ireland offers a concise synthesis of globalizationâÇÖs dramatic impact on Ireland. In the past fifteen years, Ireland has transformed from a sleepy and depressed European backwater to the âÇÖemerald tigerâÇÖ, a country with a booming economy based on knowledge and high-tech industries. Not long ago it was one of the poorest and most traditional countries in Europe, yet now it is one of the wealthiest and most cosmopolitan. Using a number of case studies of IrelandâÇÖs transition, Tom Inglis explains what this means for traditional Irish culture and society, and offers an incisive social portrait of globalizing Ireland.Concise, descriptive, interdisciplinary and theoretically informed,áthis volume isáan ideal introduction toáIreland.
